That’s why dressing is layers is perfect for this time of year. We’re not talking bulky winter layering, this is all about close that work together smoothly for a great autumn look.

Start with a hi-lo layered top. Looks great on its own, or perfect for layering with a cardigan. We have several cardigan styles and colors to choose from. We just recently got in these great sleeveless open front cardigans, perfect for those Spring like afternoons. For when it’s chiller in the morning and evening, these long sleeve drapey cardigans contributes warmth without bulk.

These leggings are great for layering.  That’s because  they come in bold colors and patters, ensuring that most everything else you wear will be neutral colors like grey, black, or white, making it earlier to coordinate several layers. We have patterns, colors to match any style.

Never underestimate the power of scarves when it comes to proper layering. Scarves are easy to put on and take off as desired, and come in so many sizes, patterns, colors and materials.  For example, we have chiffon and cotton scarves as well as wool and patterned and solid colors. Check them all out!. They can also be worn in a multitude of ways.

Statement Necklace

Statement necklaces are everywhere now and they come in a countless variety of styles. Bib necklaces are among some of the most popular and here are some ways you can wear them to your advantage.

Statement necklaces are super hot right now. They can be bold and daring or can do a lot to accent an ensemble. Even though they seem to take up a lot of space and demand more attention than other jewelry pieces might, these particular fashion accessories are surprisingly versatile. They can be worn with basic outfits, to the office, out to dinner, and even to weddings or other formal events. This black enamel and gold tone bib statement necklace has more uses than you might initially think and can help extend your wardrobe.

This particular piece is both modern and vintage inspired. Bib necklaces hearken to an ancient time, evoking the images of Cleopatra or Nefertiti, and bring with them their wealth of power and beauty. These necklaces today are just as powerful and can be used on many occasions. The simple black and gold pattern makes this piece extremely adaptable, matching most outfits and looks. Black is not only the easiest color to match but is by far the sleekest. And gold brings with it a wealth of beauty, both in its appearance as well as in its history. While this piece does rock that vintage vibe, it is still very modern. Because of this, it can be worn along with a professional power suit just as well as with a flowy, bohemian dress.

Large necklaces like this work well with simple necklines. A strapless top or dress really allows this piece to stand out against your neck and shoulders without anything to distract from it. Wear it with a basic tank or strapless top in summer to liven up a casual, poolside outfit. These necklaces also work well with scoop necks or v-necks if you’re still looking to dress up a casual outfit. As long as the neckline is wide enough to allow the accessory space to sit comfortably, it can add that oomph to any basic tee and jeans.

If you’re going for a more professional look, this necklace works just as well. Even though they look great on a bare neck, they can also be worn tucked under the collar of a button down shirt. This adds more dimension to the shirt you’re wearing, and still looks great when peeking out from under a fitted blazer. On a more formal note, this piece is also great for formal events as well. Since it is fairly neutral, it can work with most colors, but still works just as well when paired with a little black dress.

You can find this black and gold statement necklace as well as other statement necklaces at Chicastic.

Brown Leopard Clutch

Looking for some easy accessory fix? Try adding some old school chic to your look with a brown leopard print clutch.

Animal print is an entirely unique pattern. While the use of animal furs and patterns have held some stake throughout history, it has been a particular sort of commercial fashion staple since the 1950’s. While some particular styles seem to come and go with the decades, such as the zebra print which saw to a golden age in the 80’s and came back in the 2000’s, leopard print has some real staying power. Use this design to look classy, edgy, or even both.

While every different kind of animal print has the ability to be bold and eye catching, leopard is unique in that it can make a statement while still retaining the ability to be subtle. Such is the case with a brown leopard print clutch. A small piece such as this has the ability to stand out while still being minimal and tasteful. As is the rule with most animal patterns: the less there is, the more it says. A little really goes a long way. If you want to make a statement or test out a bolder or new look for yourself, then a clutch purse is a great way to test the waters. These sleek and classy accessories are small but still pack a punch. Despite their size, they still have a lot of fashion power, and can easily be removed from your ensemble if you’re simply not “feeling” the look. These accessories are versatile and useful, and always give off an air of elegance and poise.

This clutch can do a lot for you despite it’s size. It can add oomph to any outfit, whether it’s plain, neutral, or full of color. Avoid using it with too many other patterns though, however, because if used in this way the bag will get lost in a sea of other colors, shapes and designs. But when paired with solid colors, this accessory can do a lot to break up and add texture to an ensemble effortlessly. The bag is then allowed to stand out wonderfully, and can do so against a little black dress or with a power suit, for example. It can also work just as well with a basic tee shirt and jeans! Patterns are not entirely out of the question, though they should always be used sparingly when mixing and matching more than one. Patterns and prints work best when paired against solid colors, and an outfit can otherwise be broken up with other textures and fabrics to add more depth to your look.

You can find the brown leopard print clutch and other leopard print accessories at Chicastic.

Animal Prints In Formal Wear

Animal print is totally hot right now and is often associated with bold and daring looks. While this pattern does lend itself to casual wear or party wear, it can still be made appropriate for formal occasions. Like choosing anything for a formal event, it’s all about the cut, length and style of a piece that determines where it is best worn. The same goes for animal print. Choose your animal print accessories and clothing wisely and you can make it work for any formal setting.

When it comes to formal dresses, the cut and fit mean a lot. Depending on where you’re going or what sort of event you will be attending, most occasions allow will allow you to wear floor length or above the knee dresses. Even if both cuts are acceptable, it’s often that shorter dresses are not /too/ short and fall just above the knee. Neckline matters a lot too. A plunging neckline might be appropriate for a night out or if you’re planning to walk the red carpet, but is often not acceptable at most formal events. A strapless dress could be a good alternative if you want to be a little more bold, but be sure it still provides enough coverage.

Next, do you want to feature this pattern in the clothing itself? Or do you want to use it to accentuate what you are wearing? If you’re opting to choose a dress that features animal print, either in the entire dress or in some aspect of it (whether it is a color blocked dress or features a printed collar, sash, skirt or belt etc.) then you might want to accessorize with a simple statement necklace and clutches. Go for silver or gold, whichever best matches the print you’ve chosen, or go with monochromatic colored jewelry and shoes such as black or white. That way you can still look classy and elegant while exhibiting a bit of your wild side. If you wan to go for something a little tamer, then wearing a solid colored dress with animal print clutch purse may be your best bet. This look goes great with the little black dress but works with other colors as well. Go for a bold snakeskin print clutch or shoe matched with gold jewelry. This way you’re using the pattern to play up your ensemble while the solid color balances the entire look.

Chicastic has snakeskin clutches, leopard print chiffon scarf etc which may be perfect accessories for formal and casual wear.

Leopard print is hot but is it wedding appropriate? Here are some tips to incorporating this style on your big day.

Animal prints and patterns are all over the casual fashion world and have snuck into elegant and professional realms of style too. If you love leopard print what’s stopping you from using it in your wedding scheme? Just like incorporating these styles into your everyday wardrobe, balance is key and a little goes a long way.

If you want to include a bold pattern in your wedding design and creation, a great way to incorporate it is the invaluable use of accents. The rest of your wedding can adhere to traditional, timeless design with some of your own flare and still find a way to add some oomph. Include the pattern in your invitations, ribbons and party favors. Avoid going overboard by mirroring the style with timeless black and gold accents in addition to the leopard print to add some variety but retain the overall effect. For instance if you choose to accent your decor with leopard then consider putting your bridesmaids in black and gold to mirror the effect without seeming too much.

Don’t forget the cake as well! A white, black and gold cake with edible leopard print patterns is totally feasible and looks fun and daring when it comes to topping off the night with dessert. You can also use the print on napkins and silverware to act as more of an accent but still exude the theme tastefully.

You may also consider purchasing gifts for the bridal party that are leopard themed, such as leopard pattern clutch purse or leopard print chiffon scarf, and jewelry. These can also be worn and used during the wedding reception to add to your overall decor. Center pieces and take home gifts can also be in this style so your guests can remember the special day.

When done tastefully and minimally, a bold pattern can say a lot without overpowering your event. Using complementary solid colors can highlight the print without having to use it in every piece of decor or bridal wear. Don’t forget the power of accessories and accents. If you’re looking to incorporated it into your dress, you can always go with a bold leopard print shoe or a fun patterned garter belt, for example. Adding little touches do a lot without taking over your wedding. It adds the look you want in a tasteful and chic way. Don’t be afraid to add oomph to your wedding. Chicastic has beautiful leopard pattern accessories that would be perfect for the bride and the bridesmaids.
